Does anybody T Mobil unlimited data plan? I know they throttle ,but how many Gb of data do you get before the throttle you down?

You'll never hit the throttle because their 4G coverage is utterly pathetic.

I use about 25-30 gigs per month and have never been throttled. Its my only form of internet until lines are run through the subdivision. I even hotspot it to my pc to play BF4 and it runs great. I do get the very occasional lag spike but nothing major.

If you get the unlimited plan, the $80 plan, they don't throttle.  I'm using up to 7GB per month, at 4G LTE, I never connect to wifi, except when I am at a place with no coverage, but have free wifi.
Some of the lower price plans are 1 or 2Gb then the throttle you

Their 4G network sucks though, worse then AT&T, which is saying a lot

I am going to this for home internet. There is  a tower I can see from back yard that they will be on soon. NTelos is on the tower now ,and they are not taking any new customers because they are leaving the area in December. There towers are being bought out by T MOBIL. I am on Verizon Fusion right now, and I want to leave that piece of shit company..........long story.

I have T Mobile and used to get throttled back at 10 gigs but that was a few years ago before I got the wifi password for work

I've got T-mobile unlimited everything, through a reseller. It is great in the city, or along major highways, But get off the beaten track a ways, and it's pretty much useless. We had Verizon for years, and it was great wherever we went, but suddenly one day the service at our neighborhood simply went to shit, and they could not fix it. They actually let me out of my contract, no charge.

I hear this often and I guess I'm just lucky but I'm consistently pulling almost 25 down and in some areas well over 30 down. The only time I lose lte coverage is right by a small airport near my exit going home. I'm very rarely outside a 40 mile radius of civilization though.

I don't want to make another thread about t-mobile, but I'm contract with AT&T is expiring any day now and looking to get away from the expensive and crappy service.

T-mobile may be equally crappy, so why give that money to AT&T when I can give less to T-Mobile ?

is that about the gist of it? or should I entertain a different network?

Depends on where you are and what phone you have.   I pull over 45 Mb down and 10 - 15 up on my phone w/ a good LTE connection.  All of the carriers suck in some places, and all of them are good in others.

Their website states that at 21 Gb you may be throttled due you network conditions.  It's spelled out in their unlimited plan details.

Buy a T-mobile network burner and see how it works where you go.



I live and travel around metro Detroit and my fucking T-mobile phone has no signal or a bad enough signal to frequently drop calls in so many places it's appalling.  Fortunately it's my work phone so I don't give a shit.  Look, I'm not saying metro Detroit is the hub of civilization, but if I'm standing in a Walmart parking lot, or outside of a building that employs 10,000 engineers - my fucking cell phone ought to be able get a signal.



T-mobile's software shoves wifi calling down your throat to try and mask how fucking terrible their network is.



My personal Verizon phone works pretty much everywhere.

I have no issues whatsoever with T-Mobile's 4G coverage.  However, I am in a city where they have very good coverage, and I am aware that not every city as coverage as good as this.

I have truly unlimited.  Unlimited everything, including 4G LTE.  Granted I pay extra $30 for it but hey .

On my regular line prior to putting the truly unlimited I had 2.5gb 4G, then throttled.
